Four persons suspected to be having links with Indian Mujahideen were picked up on Tuesday for questioning in connection with the German Bakery blast and the police said it has got "vital" information from CCTV footages. While two of them were from Kudalwadi and Janwadi localities in Pune, two others from Aurangabad were quizzed.
Even as the police was struggling to get a major breakthrough, Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh said they have got the forensic report and it has established that RDX and ammonium nitrate were used in the attack at the popular eatery on Saturday. "It was a mixture of RDX, Ammonium Nitrate and Petroleum Hydrocarbon oil that set off the blast," he told reporters in Pune, Mumbai .
The explosives were hidden inside a bag which was lying under a table in the cafe. It exploded when a waiter tried to open it. "We have the CCTV footages. We have got some vital information from it," he said.
Singh said 24-year-old Abhishek Saxena from Lucknow, a student of D Y Patil college, succumbed to his injuries last night, taking the toll to 10. His body has been handed over to his parents.
In Mumbai, Rashmi Shukla, IG, said no arrests have been made so far. Asked whether SIMI members were being questioned or any group is being suspected, she said, "it is too early...all these aspects are being looked into. We are not ruling out any possibility". PTI
